Speaking of butch-looking chicks: I”m always calling trannies “future suicides,” but I can”t decide whether or not Bruce Jenner should be placed in that category. I will predict, however, that some highish-profile gender bender will kill itself by New Year’s Eve, simply because that’s what they do.
On that topic, can you guess who this is?
In many cases, transsexuals “surgically mutilate their own bodies” in order to conform to a gender role that is inexorably tied to physical body parts. She concluded that “feminists are right to feel uncomfortable about the need for and uses of transsexualism.” The article concluded (…): “If the shoe doesn”t fit, must we change the foot?”
If you said Gloria Steinem, it’s possible you remember that because you”re almost as old as she is, which is pretty darned old.
She wrote that in 1977, back when she still made a lot of sense, frankly. When Steinem does die, the inevitable retrospectives will accidentally expose those aforementioned millennials to a self-described “radical feminist” who also wasn”t a hideous, spitting, lobotomized freak. A glance around your average university campus confirms that such edification couldn”t come at a more urgent time. And the woman is 81. Again: Just sayin”…
Compare Steinem with today’s Voice of a Generation, Lena Dunham, and even the stodgiest right-winger surely feels a twinge of nostalgia for the era of coke spoon necklaces and macramé wall hangings. And I”ve said for some time that I don”t think Dunham is…entirely well. I”m not a participant in a celebrity death pool, but if I were, she”d be on my list.
Glenn Beck wouldn”t, but I”d also be remiss in failing to point out that late last week, he shoved his face into a bowl of Cheetos. On the air.
Look, I”m just reporting the news.
But in conclusion, can I just say:
Fidel Castro. Neil Young. David Suzuki.
Now let’s sit back and wait.
